Exam (2009): A Movie About an Exam

Exam (2009) is a Movie About a Cryptic Test to Choose a Candidate for a Colossal Duty

Exam is what it says it is. It’s a movie about an exam that a few candidates must sit to determine if they’re eligible for a corporate job, with the usual package of a good pay and most certainly the accompanying fringe benefits.  This doesn't mean that as the viewer we’ll be sitting in complete silence watching 8 candidates sweat themselves… in complete silence.  This isn't your ordinary examination.

Wolverine (2013): Wolverine Missing Mutant Pals

Summer Movie Wolverine Will See the Mutant Going Solo in Japan

Yesterday, the new Wolverine trailer was released and it is clear that the movie is set in Japan. It features Logan reconnecting with a man from his past, one that he saved who now wishes to repay Wolverine with his own gift, mortality, not by means of some Japanese witchcraft but by way of science and technology. Unlike X-Men Origins: Wolverine, this picture is not a prequel.

Les Misérables Blu-ray Review: Bollywood Survives a Scare

Les Misérables Blu-ray Review: Two-Disc Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy + Ultraviolet

The Movie

Bollywood survives a scare from their Hollywood counterparts. Many thought that Tom Hooper's musical would revolutionize the genre, and I thought that the Hollywood musical would be a serious contender to overtake the usual 3 hour Bollywood film packed with song and dance, despite the industry currently shedding this former self. It was not to be so.

James Franco is an Alien in Spring Breakers

James Franco Plays a Rapper named Alien in Movie Spring Breakers

Take a look at the photos above. The amiable James Franco has been replaced by a man born and bred in the streets, a back alley or a dumpster. He sports some well-knotted braids with Rastafarian-colored beads, gritty metallic grills, an arm tattoo and an assortment of rings and a watch encrusted with precious metals. Don’t forget those 2 polished guns and the sun-slick shades. No doubt, this is a guy who smokes weed like an ordinary man would drink mineral water.  This is the new guise adopted by James Franco for the recently released movie Spring Breakers, where he plays a rapper by the name of Alien. Indeed, he does look like he’s from another planet or parallel universe.

Ant-Man To Go... Big in Marvel Phase 3

Ant-Man Movie Rumored for 2015 Release With Edgar Wright at The Helm

By Guest Blogger Marvel-ous

It was last summer that Edgar Wright showcased some test footage from Ant-Man, the movie planned to kick of Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Since then the footage was kept safely away from fan boy hands. Well, thanks to some sneaky phone camera work at an event in London, the footage found its way online yesterday until it was taken down by the internet’s lawmakers.

So, what's all the hype about this Ant Man Superhero?

Worth Buying The Hobbit Blu-ray?

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Released on Blu-ray 

The Hobbit opened up to intense criticism upon its release in December. Some questioned the wisdom of extending a 300 page children’s book to beyond 2.5 hours.

Emma Watson Becoming Promiscuous?

Emma Watson Embraces the Dark Side in The Bling Ring 

Emma Watson first came to our attention in 2001 when she starred in the first Harry Potter movie. There was not much to separate between her on-screen character Hermione Granger and her actual personality (we assume). She was at the pinnacle of purity, an angel if there ever was one living amongst us. This aura surrounded her for years, throughout the Harry Potter film series, until yesterday.

Hercules May Be a Film Tragedy

Hercules: The Thracian Wars To Grace Theaters in 2014

I long for a movie that is able to portray Greek mythology in its raw immensity, richness and splendor. I long for this richness not just in the landscape and scenery of Ancient Greece but also in the relationships between Gods, Demi-Gods and humans. As a child, when I read these Greek stories what stood out were the connections formed between these entities and the emotions they evoked. In the Odyssey, Odysseus is ensnared in a perilous journey that separates him from his wife and family for decades. In The Iliad, Achilles is doomed to die in the Trojan War, a fate his mother knows all too well, so his decision to join Agamemnon’s forces would crush the hopes of any parent. The chronicles itself were enough. The sheer depth and velocity of the tale was enough to sear the anecdote into anyone’s memory.

Finally, A Vampire Men Can Actually Approve

Hotel Transylvania Piles Laughs On Top of... Laughs

By Guest Blogger @Reconcoding

Anybody here watched Van Helsing? Blade? Dracula? What all these movies obviously have in common is some hardcore vampire action! It became the unspoken rule that Vampires were either cool, scary, or even scary cool and maybe that’s why there’s a lot of Twilight hate going on when they failed to comply. However, I caught a new perspective on our fanged friend that doesn't obey the rule, yet hasn't evoked the same reaction as Twilight, from one of the most unlikeliest places: Hotel Transylvania.

Dr. No: Greatest Comedy Ever Made

First James Bond Movie Features All Aspects of Entertainment

One must never watch a movie with friends unless it’s a comedy. Otherwise, it inevitably becomes a comedy. This was the unfortunate treatment that Dr. No, the first James Bond film received as I viewed it with my friends. It could have been the ancient special effects where Bond pretends to drive a car with an animated picture in the background, turning the car in the wrong direction or a Caribbean local performing a queer dance in a club, with hands outstretched as if in the clutches of a demonic possession.

Argo Reportedly Sends Viewers into Cardiac Arrest

Ben Affleck’s Argo Will Inundate Your Cardiovascular System

At first, I thought I was watching a Stan Lee comic on screen as the opening included a rather colorful presentation of the history surrounding the Iranian revolution, with actual photos and drawings mimicking the artwork style of a Superman or Batman art strip. It works. It’s a different method of recalling historical information that would engage people ranging from toddlers to grandfathers (not that toddlers should watch a rated R movie anyway).
